    Stoning and amputation to go from Iranian criminal code
    Zimbabwe Star
    Tuesday 23rd June, 2009  


    Iran's parliament has met to discuss bans on stoning as a method of capital punishment.

    Amputation of a hand as a punishment for stealing is also being revised in the Iranian penal code as Parliament's judicial commission decides on changes to Islamic punishments.

    A special court for minors under 18 may also be ratified once the commission has finalised its latest version of the penal code.

    Parliament is then likely to vote on whether the new laws should have a trial period before it is finally vetted by the Guardians Council, which consists of Muslim jurists.

    Under Iran's existing law, adultery is still punishable by stoning, which involves the hurling of stones in public at the man and woman.

    They are only spared if they can free themselves.

    Stoning and amputation to go from Iranian criminal code

    All the above laws are against human rights and the dignity of man. No such government, nation, or religious institution has the right to impose these laws upon its fellow man. These people that promote these laws are SAVAGES and should be brought to the International Criminal Tribunal that Free Societies have established. Sammy

    Sammy,

    Are you not encouraged at the review being conducted to revise the Law?

    If you believe that Iran (actually the mullahs) will abolish stoning or hand amputation, then I have some land for sale really cheap. Iran is like the old Soviet Union. The law can say anything, but Sharia prevails. As Iran is ruled by Islamic nutjobs, the criminal cases can be moved to Islamic religious courts for Islamic justice. No need to bother the “legal” system that the people wrote. Sharia prevails over man law anyway, according to these perverts. So, expect to see the whitewash story that the changes are made to the law (man-made law), but expect to see Sharia courts to pick up the slack and hand out judgements like stoning and hand amputations. No change in any way is what I expect. BTW: The land is cheap and near Miami, FL.

    Stoning and amputation to go from Iranian criminal code

    Review?? What kind of barbarians can carry out these punishments in the first place? Ridiculous that in this century these punishments are allowed ANYWHERE. What kind of people live in a country like that??
    By ` ~galljdaj+, 06-23-09, 03:18 PM

    The same kinds of people that...

    ... that blanket bomb another country, or crush people using bulldozers, or murder 5000 panamains to arrest Noriega. People that hide what it is they are doing as the Government!

    Human rights, human rights, human rights watch

    Well what are the world civilized organizations doing to eliminate all of these abuses that are going on in this planet, where laws exist that abuse a person’s right to live. I still believe, and all civilized people believe, certainly believe that no government and no person has the right to take another person’s live, and no laws should exist that take a person’s life, or mutilate a person’s body for his or her wrong doings. I believe that such governments or nations that are under the influence of such laws must be brought to the International Criminal Court and be punished and dissolved of such abusive power towards its fellow man.

    Send children to walk into Iraqi minefields when Iran is attacking Iraq ahead of Iranian tanks because children are cheaper to replace then tanks! Or stoning women and gays to death! Just another day in the life of Muslim murderers. Keep your moral relativism liberal insanity Bull shiite to yourself no one cares.

    More of your nonsense comprehension???

    What is the question your answering? Julie, asked a question, to which I answered! You are welcome to 'analysis', but what you have posted is your messianic beliefs and hates! Subtitled who cares about your messianics! You don’t even know the question or who is asking! But you do mouth a lot!

    Your moral relativism is disgusting display of perverted warped thinking. You need to seek counseling ASAP. As far as mouthing off goes quit making illogical perverted posts in which you attempt to always inject your beliefs about America when American mistakes are not the subject. Pinhead. Until then expect me to set you straight evey time I see you excersize you free speech by posting something stupid that’s called free speech.

    If you had the intelligence to read, you would have seen I was answering Sammy Boy, not you. But then again, you are so paranoid, you think everyone is out to get you. How interesting you comment about my beliefs as if they were out of touch. Reality is that YOU, girly boy, is that YOUR beliefs and rants are colored by your hatreds. Try again, girly boy.

    You may be right

    Pontotoc Bill 06-23-09, 01:06 PM Yes Bill you may be right that Sharia law prevails over man made law, because these idiots are and have been brainwahed by their dogmatic fanatic religion to obey their bully religious leaders who have no human dignity, and the respect for human life, surely such SAVAGE religious leaders should be placed in a nut house, or brought to face the ICC. But what about those that do not practice this fanatical religion, are they also passed for judgement to those who impose the Sharia Law? I believe one that is not of that religion should not be judged by a Sharia tribunal. I sometimes wonder, if those fanatics would get their hands on me with my free thinking, what would really happen to me. Would they respect my freedom of choice? of not belonging to no religion at all. Sammy, an international free thinker, who is a layman

    Yes, Sammy, those who are NOT Muslim, but live in Iran under these Islamic nutjobs, will be held to Sharia law. Whether we believe, as you worte “that is not of that religion should not be judged by a Sharia tribunal” is immaterial. The Sharia courts are the courts under Islam. Islam is the basis for the nation of Iran now. Until the mullahs lose power, unfortunately innocent Iranians will suffer under Sharia. Sharia requires non-Muslims to accept dhimi status which imposes Sharia over them. If they reject dhimi status, then Islam requires the non-Muslim to be killed. Ugly, yes. Debateable? No, not under Islam/Sharia law. Your freedom of thought/freedom of choice means nothing to them. You, as would I, would sooner or later be executed for crimes under Sharia. One of the crimes would most likely be rejection of Islam. I know I do and would. No religion is not an option. Either you become a Muslim or die. That is what the Koran requires and that is what Sharia Law requires. Remember last year in Afghanistan, when a Muslim converted to Christianity? The mullahs/imams called for his death for the crime of apostasy.
